List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Xref: main.gmane.org gmane.emacs.devel:9443 X-Report-Spam: http://spam.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel:9443 If tooltips are active, they tend to pop up on their own. This can be disconcerting for menus, but perhaps that's because I'm slightly more used to the MS-Windows approach. In that case, tooltips for menus only popup if you use the "What's this?" command (Shift-F1). If users are accustomed to this and like it, it would be a good approach. But can it be implemented without changing the toolkits? This might be a useful change to make in GTK.
